CYBER SECURITY

Cyber-crime is the 21st Century battleground. Cyber-defence is not simply a matter of improved Information Systems technology, as people are often the weakest point.

Rob Becker, Senior Consultant at User Centric Design:
“Cyber-security is an indisputable cornerstone of any modern business. As methods of cyber offence and defence grow increasingly more complex, we need to make sure that the human element is always accounted for. Our approach to cybersecurity considers how people can complement and improve system security, and how we can best accommodate people’s behaviour to ensure that digital security isn’t compromised by human error. ”

 

At User Centric Design we can provide the Human Factors analysis to understand what drives insecure behaviour in users and employees. 

Our Services Include:

  • Following a Cyber Defensive Assurance process that enables us to help clients understand the risks of current systems and help define the mitigations to help further improve their security.

  • Mapping the system, its technological components, processes and governance.

  • Identifying the system’s users and stakeholders, including supporting elements such as the supply chain and third party contractors.

  • Identifying the technological touchpoints for the different users/stakeholders, such as the User Interface or backend server racks.

  • Identifying vulnerabilities, building potential attack paths and evaluating/scoring risk posed.

  • Providing recommendations to mitigate identified risk and vulnerabilities, such as system design changes or training directives.

We understand how important it is that the vulnerabilities we identify are kept secure, safe and secret.  We have Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation and our staff are familiar with the requirements of secure working, so you can be sure we will treat your information with the care it needs.
